You don't want to load games via usb on a ps2, that's too slow. But since it is a slim, you could try network loading.

Anyways, how new is the ps2? Does it have internal or external power supply? On a new ps2 you can't install Free McBoot, which means you would need to use Swap Magic or something similar everytime you want to launch something.

oh really so it wont be like wii usb loading ?? its great man the white is nice looks good next to my wii, now only if my ps3 was white or i need to get an xbox 360 slim to make it all match up hmm wuts network loading does the slim have wi fi ? its a schp - 70001 or something so its the older one how do i tell if it has an internal or external power supply ? i think its external because it plugs into an outlet

usb loading is slow as ps2 is only USB 1.1 and Wii is USB 2.0. Slim do not have wifi. If the power cord has a "brick" it is external power (the plug is one circle, like most laptops). If it is just a wire to the wall its internal (a figure 8 shape connector with 2 pin).
